A note from our founder
"I started Hawthorne after watching a friend pay a freelance ghostwriter $40,000 for a draft she couldn't use. The voice was wrong. The chapters were padded. The contract said the writer kept 30% of audiobook royalties forever.
That's not a publishing house. That's a trap.
So we built the firm around three rules. Senior writers only. You own everything. Money-back at chapter 1 — no exceptions. Eight years and 250 books later, those three rules still close the deal."
We guide you from manuscript to published book, ensuring your work reaches its intended audience.
Partner with a top book publishing company to make your dream a reality.

Countless authors have used Reedsy to bring their books to life. See what they have to say.
Laura was absolutely amazing. She was a true professional, patient, polite and kind. All her revisions made sense and she would always leave a comment to clarify a change or propose a solution, all while preserving my voice. We had multiple rounds of editing so that I also had an opportunity to implement some suggestions,clarify some moments, that were not clear, and deal with some overused words, as well as accept/reject the changes. I felt safe, calm and in good hands through the whole pr...
Erin is a fantastic editor. She got the book back to me very quickly with a full markup, an editorial report, and an in-depth guide on what the traditional publishing process would look like for that genre. Because of her previous experience, she's uniquely positioned to teach you not just how to edit your book, but also how to sell it. She's also extremely supportive, offering a call after the fact to help you get to grips with her edits. She doesn't just hand the book back and vanish. In m...
Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...
I came to Ben afraid I might be making some terrible mistake on my query letter that would preclude me from ever being published. His feedback reassured me, pointing out the things I was doing right, while also kindly showing me all the ways in which I could elevate the impact of my
Working with Vicki on the cover design of my book was an excellent experience. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a deep understanding of graphic design. She quickly grasped the atmosphere I wanted to convey...
